Due to the volcanic ash cloud, European airspace has been shut down, and the reopening time of some countries may be postponed till next week. So far, volcano experts and geophysicists cannot predict the exact date when the volcano will stop erupting. As a result, the delay of European flights will continue in a short time. The capital airport has communicated and coordinated with airline companies, and they will jointly offer comprehensive services to the stranded passengers.
